| Kid Cudi and M.I.A. feud. Cudi boots her off his tour after she went MAGA. |
How can people got to concerts with tickets prices matching the prices of groceries?
Gas prices have surpassed $5.29⁹ a gallon in the United States. People are not going to tolerate this stuff much longer. It will be a reckoning come this election.
Kid Cudi, a rapper who addresses mental health, the vulnerable and the establishment kicked British rapper M.I.A. from his tour after she made an impromptu rant about President Donald J. Trump.
She endorsed the president in 2024.
This means Cudi and M.I.A. are openly feuding.
The rapper, whose legal name is Scott Mescudi, wrote on his Instagram story that M.I.A., the British rapper and singer, would no longer appear on his "Rebel Ragers" tour following his Dallas show.
Mescudi wrote that he had notified her team before the tour that he did not want "anything offensive" at his shows and was assured she understood.
"After the last couple shows, I've been flooding with messages from fans that were upset by her rants," Mescudi wrote. "This, to me, is very disappointing and I won't have someone on my tour making offensive remarks that upsets my fanbase."
Mescudi's representatives did not immediately respond to a request for comment Monday.
M.I.A.'s legal name is Mathangi Arulpragasam, and she also often goes by Maya. She gained popularity in the early 2000s with singles such as "Paper Planes" and "Galang."
M.I.A. got booed heavily last night while opening for Kid Cudi…

I WROTE ILLYGAL ON THE MAYA LP A SONG FROM 2010.

I STARTED THIS INTRO TO THE SONG WITH THE STATEMENT SAYING I'M ILLYGAL, AND I SAID MY TEAM HASN'T GOTTEN VISAS YET. THEN PLAYED A SONG THAT HAD LYRICS SAYING "FU&% THE LAW", WHICH I STILL BELIEVE, IF THE LAW IS UNJUST F@%& IT.

It's unclear exactly what happened with Arulpragasam on the tour, but many fans posted online that she was booed onstage during Mescudi's Dallas show Saturday. Some clips of her comments were posted online, but the full context of her remarks is unclear.
She is alleged to have talked to the crowd about her Republican political views, according to a caption on one video, before she told the audience she would not perform her song "Illygal" though some in the crowd "might be."
"All right, I'm illegal," Arulpragasam said in a video from the show shared online. "Half of my team are not here because they didn't get the visa, OK? I want you to know that. All right, so don't listen to what the bots say on the internet."
Arulpragasam also said, "We should be above politics," according to the video.
Representatives for Arulpragasam did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
She did respond to the criticism on X, writing in one post that she wrote "Illygal" in 2010 and started the intro by saying her team had not received visas. She wrote that she had no apology for the judgmental, the wicked and the ignorant.
"I wrote borders and 'Illygal' and 'Paper Planes' before you thought immigrant rights were cool," she wrote in all-capital letters. "I've had thses battles by myself without the help of millions of fans backing me. I don't need this virtue signal era to all of a sudden erase an entire life I've led."
Arulpragasam pointed out that she cannot vote in the U.S. in response to a user on X who said she endorsed Trump. She also posted the question of whether the user would hate all Trump voters.
"We must unite to make this country, that everyone wants to live in a better place," she wrote.
